The Iron Dome missile defense system has been voted Israel’s all time top innovation in a competition organized by the Ministry of Economy for Israel’s 70th Independence Day celebrations which kick off Wednesday evening.

‘Lone soldiers, as well as all IDF soldiers, really appreciate that someone from around the world cares about their welfare,’ said one lone soldier named Aaron. ‘Their donations, which go toward meaningful gifts, are like giving IDF soldiers a warm hug.’

‘We can not overlook or forget the injured veterans of the IDF who are living in their own form of personal bondage due to the injuries they sustained defending the Land of Israel,’ said Dr. John Grossman of LIBI USA.

‘We had to prepare intelligence, operational and technological capabilities to remove the nuclear threat from Israel and the region,’ said Lt.-Gen. (Res.) Gabi Ashkenazi, who was the IDF Chief of Staff at the time.
